About this plugin

The fastest way to insert font based material design icons.


Quick Material Icons is optimized for speed of use. The gist: run the plugin, search for an icon and add it to your file. But the details make this experience feel great.


I highly recommend adding a shortcut to the plugin. (see below for instructions)


Usage

  • CMD+P, then type "icon", enter. Or setup a shortcut (instructions below)
  • You'll see a list of icons. After choosing your first, you'll see a list of recent icons
  • When you type, the full icon list is filtered and sorted based on recency.
  • Click or press Enter to select the icon. (you can also use arrow keys).


Features

  • Recent icons show by default.
  • Select with your keyboard.
  • After searching, results are sorted by recency.
  • When a text object is selected, and it has the same name as an icon, the plugin will automatically replace the text for that icon. Eg. a text object using Helvetica has close as characters. Running the plugin will use the Material Icons font and show an icon instead.
  • Running the plugin without a selection will add an icon in the center of the viewport.
  • If multiple text elements are selected, the plugin will run for each element.
  • If a frame or group is selected, the icon will be added to the center of the object.


How to set a shortcut to run the plugin (mac)

  • Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
  • Select App Shortcuts from the left sidebar
  • Click the [+] button
  • Choose Figma from the Applications dropdown
  • In Menu Title type Quick Material icons
  • In Keyboard Shortcut, type whatever works best for you. I recommend ctrl + l
